From what he had heard, Feng Wu was the girl the crown prince was in love with, which confused Mr. Zhu.
Meanwhile!
Mr. Wang followed Zuo Qingluan to Feng Wu’s side.
He stared at Feng Wu so hard, as if he wanted to drill holes in her skin.
“You’re Feng Wu, then?” asked Mr. Wang.
Feng Wu frowned at him. She didn’t know who this man was.
Zi Ling whispered in her ear, “He’s Mr. Wang of Class D.”
They would all rise to Class D one day, so they couldn’t offend this teacher. Zi Ling tugged at Feng Wu’s sleeve, telling her to calm down.
Feng Wu remained calm, but one couldn’t say the same about Mr. Wang.
Wang Junwen was his niece. Her father was Mr. Wang’s brother, who had put Wang Junwen in Mr. Wang’s care.
Then, she was killed.
Mr. Wang would never forgive Feng Wu for that.
Their eyes met, and one could feel the tension in the air.
However, most people had their eyes on Zuo Qingluan.
“Chief Qingluan is here!”
“If I remember correctly, she’s not so fond of Feng Wu.”
“If Feng Wu has killed Wang Junwen, she’s going to die as well!”
“What are you talking about? Chief Qingluan is so noble and above worldly matters! She would never abuse her power for her own private revenge!” Zuo Qingluan’s supporters immediately tried to defend her.
The other students stopped talking, but they wondered whether Zuo Qingluan was as unambitious as she was said to be.
If that were the case, why had she insisted that Feng Wu should become her disciple before? That didn’t sound very unambitious at all.
Quarrels could reveal many things.
When people quarreled, they had to take a stance.
Mr. Wang stared at Feng Wu. “You killed Wang Junwen. Hundreds of students from Class D all witnessed it!”
The students immediately stepped out.
“I’m Yu Hong, and I can prove it!”
“I’m Tang Ziqiu, and I saw it with my own eyes!”
“I’m Sikong Wenming. I saw it, too…”
…
All the other students said similar things.
Students of Class E paled. They gradually lost all hope that Feng Wu would survive this.
She couldn’t, not when so many people wanted her dead.
Mr. Zhu frowned.
He felt that the girl was too smart to put herself in such a desperate situation.
There had to be a twist.
“Didn’t Miss Qingluan think highly of Feng Wu’s talent? Will she do something to help her?” Many students wondered.
But they were disappointed.
Zuo Qingluan said indifferently, “If she killed someone, she’ll have to pay with her own life. That’s the rule.” She gave Feng Wu a sympathetic look. “I appreciate your talent, but I can’t violate school rules, nor can I help you for personal reasons, since you’re a despicable person who doesn’t deserve to be saved.”
Some people agreed with her, but some people frowned.
Somehow, they felt that Chief Qingluan was being petty.
Zuo Qingluan shouldn’t have taken the students for fools.
They had managed to make their way to the War Academy; how foolish could they be?
Feng Wu smirked. “You just have to push me over the cliff, don’t you? Zuo Qingluan, are you really that jealous of me?”
Zuo Qingluan’s face darkened when she heard that.
Jealous? Why would Zuo Qingluan be jealous of Feng Wu? The others were perplexed.
